The initial impulse to start this project was the need to “take stock” of my learning as I neared completion of the Master of Educational Technology (MET) program at UBC, but it is something I’ve been wanting to do for some time now.

I think the main purpose of compiling this portfolio is to satisfy my own curiosity. I know that I’ve been making changes to my own teaching over time, and especially, as I have progressed through the MET program.  So, I see this as an opportunity to look back through what I’ve learned and try to assess just how much of an effect it all has had.  It also gives me a chance to revisit some of the materials as I try to integrate them into a larger whole.

While this project was started as part of the ETEC 590 Graduating Project, it is really meant to be more of a continuing personal project.  And, like most personal projects on the internet, it is a work in progress and will likely continue to be so.  It is my aim to use this exercise as the starting point of a more reflective teaching practice as well as a portfolio showcasing some of my work to peers and potential employers.
